Lester Holt announced that Jupiter is now 415 miles from Earth on Thursday’s “NBC Nightly News” and Twitter users went into another stratosphere.

Aimee Sanders Gross tweeted, “Lester Holt just said Jupiter is now 415 miles away from Earth. Husband wonders if Southwest will have a $59 airfare?”

Oh, no! Lester’s brain has been fried by Jupiter’s X-rays.

The magnetic field alone would fry us at that close range. Jupiter puts out lots and lots of watts.

The DOJ Equal Opportunity Housing Division will make sure Mars would be able to move in.

We’d already be dead. Jupiter is over 11 times bigger than Earth and would block out the sun.

Not if it was only there...at night...

Most people in the media are so dumb, they don’t know what they don’t know...an especially dangerous kind of stupid.

These lunatics have no feeling for scale or what may or may not be even possible - a planet closer to Holt’s desk in NY than the Golden Gate bridge...sounds legit to him.

At 415 miles we would be well within Jupiter’s atmosphere ...

I’ve counted over 30 posts and not one Uranus joke.

We’re slipping.

I would be worried it could tip over and capsize.
